This little radio is very dependable. Works great. It’s bright yellow and black. Easy to spot in the dark. You can drop it throw it or step on it and it won’t break. Very light weight. Tuning is on spot. The functions are very easy to see. It’s cute.

Great item! We received one as a gift and really appreciated it when the electricity went out. I then bought several to give away as prizes at an emergency preparedness event.

Shipper delivered on time and protected, no damage. For the price point, this little radio, not too small, is a great investment. AM, FM Weather NOAA, and Short Wave. Digital Tuner, way better than Analogue. Easy to use. Inside, the 12000 Mah Lipo battery can provide hours of reception, and there are more power options, like the AA Batteries, Solar, Crank options. While crank and solar create marginal power, the Lipo Battery converts to the AA Batteries as it drains. All the additional features work, like the Flashlight, Reading light, SOS, USB, and Micro Chargers for phones etc. I was surprised. Now for Reception. Inside the house, the Digital tuner brought in FM Stations, yet not AM or Weather. Stepped on my patio, pointed the antenna towards the transmission towers, and boom. Four really strong AM Stations, and a very clear strong signal for the Weather in my area. As for Short Wave, I really don't understand the complexities of this band. Further research is needed, but couldn't pick up any signal strength. I bought this for Emergency situations, so the sound and volume are good, don't expect a Bose Stereo. Finally, considering the small size, this is not the Transistor radios of the past. Nice radio, many features, and weather alerts. I will only use for Emergency situations, I like a little better sound when listening to music, yet a must have when the lights go out. The reason for 4 stars vs 5? Lipo Battery took a long time to charge. However, 12000 Mah is a big Lipo for a small radio. Once charged fully, it should charge faster the next time. Stay safe everyone.

Love this little radio! Everything works, including the alarm. I like that it has three ways to recharge it. Must have for a bug out day.

I purchased this nifty radio not for camping purposes as others wrote about, but for an added device to have in case of adverse environmental impacts such as from looming climate change consequences or possibly from increasing political unrest conflicts both from other countries and internally or just at being stranded somewhere.The first things I noticed about this radio were its color and small size. It’s green shade of color perfectly matched the portable generator I also owned and the metal storage case for selected tools to use in certain emergency situations. So, the radio fits right in with the color scheme of my emergency equipped devices! Also, the radio was significantly smaller than what I expected. This lent itself to not just sitting fixed in one place but being very portable and light weight enough to easily move around as needed.Just as you would normally have a fire extinguisher around just in case, so too having this emergency radio is a “no brainer”. I understand in an emergency, radio stations will keep broadcasting due to their generators and battery backup providing needed information, continual updates and advice to get through the emergency. So too one would need a radio just as well capable of picking up the important broadcasts during power outages. And this radio does just that and being capable of a lot more.I won’t describe all the features here, as other reviewers have done so. But I will comment on the features as I have experienced in trying out the radio.Yes, the tuned radio stations are exceptionally crystal clear!Yes, when I select for the specific government weather broadcast station in my area, it is very fine and stable.The unit draws solar power in well for recharging to operate once being properly positioned to the sun.The instructions say about five minutes of hand crank to operate the radio. In fact, I would say about just two minutes of light cranking operates the radio for some time and about four minutes is enough to sufficiently power its added light to full brightness. And the light is very bright! It is quite impressive compared to other outside lighting devices. Lights up a big wide area! Very comforting.The battery that can be charged up is 2,000 Mah is a very substantial load, considering a typical battery would be around 1,200 to 1,500 Mah. It’s quite a lot of juice for being able to charge up phones or tablets connected to its usb ports.The radio has a decent quality strap and a small compass on it, which surprisingly is accurate (when I compared it next to a profession compass) even though it is in fairly proximity to the radio itself. The whole radio unit seems substantially well built.The emergency tone alert is quite loud to alert someone of your needed assistance!As an aside, I remember seeing New Orleans become flooded without adequate assistance to those stranded for weeks and thinking I am fairly safe within NYC region. That is until Hurricane Sandy struck and there became significant power outages throughout the area, the subway tunnels were flooded, and I couldn’t get gas pumped here for about three weeks after.So actually, I really do think this radio would even make a terrific practical gift for loved ones or just anyone you care enough about If after you have one for yourself, see its potential usefulness and then in turn provide for others. It is something to give to show you really care about their well-being. Everyone is potentially vulnerable to an emergency situation. I certainly hope nothing unfortunate would occur in terms of an emergency, but this unit with all its built-in features has the potential to provide relief and comfort to those caught up during an emergency and I guess the individuals using it would afterwards be profusely thankful for having been provided with one. ‘Just sayin.P.S. The manual is fairly extensive because of all the integrated features and you should charge it up for about six hours at the beginning from out of the box.

I ordered this for my sister who happens to deal with a lot of hurricanes. This lets me know she will have radio and information even if the power does go out. Also great for camping and water sports

Generally works okay, but the ridiculously short antenna, less than 10 inches long extended, really limits radio reception.

This is a good little unit. It's fully charged and working as described. Strongly recommend.
